A Festive Journey Through India

Your Christmas celebration begins with a welcoming arrival drink, choosing between a glass of Champagne or Talisker 10, setting the tone for an indulgent afternoon.

The experience continues with a selection of carefully crafted starters that showcase the diversity of Indian cuisine. Guests can enjoy dishes such as Black Lime Tandoori Prawn, Malai Chicken Seekh Kebab, or Chettinad-style Jackfruit Bharta Tikki, each offering a distinctive combination of flavour, texture and regional character.

A refreshing sorbet cleanses the palate before the main event — a collection of signature dishes inspired by some of India's most celebrated culinary regions.

Highlights include Kerala's iconic Mutton Pepper Fry, featuring rich black pepper flavours and slow-cooked tender meat, alongside Murgh Makki Ka Soweta, a comforting dish combining chicken, sweetcorn and aromatic spices. Vegetarian guests can savour Corn Methi Palak with Malai Cream, a beautifully balanced dish showcasing fresh spinach, fenugreek and sweetcorn in a delicately spiced creamy sauce.

Every course has been thoughtfully created to celebrate both the festive season and the rich culinary traditions that have inspired Colonel Saab's menus.
